Anne Carter

Creating fiction gives one the power to design other lives, filled with romance and adventure, intrigue and passion. My own writing career began in middle school creative writing class, inspiring me to later major in literature. All it took was one teacher' encouragement and I was on my way.

I'm the author of nine published novels, including mystery, romance, paranormal, alternative romance and even a middle grade reader. As for the personal stuff, I'm a Virgo, a procrastinator, like warm better than cold and drink neither Coke nor Pepsi. I was born in the Midwest but migrated to California as a child. My hobbies include doll collecting, photo restoration and writing, of course. My favorite sport is ice hockey, my favorite TV shows include mysteries, romance (Duh!), cooking shows (British Baking Show!) and crime series that make you think and not count bodies. I am married to my hero of 40+ years and have 3 great kids and 2 delightful grands. And can't forget my crazy, sweet, rescue pup Emelia!

As a free-lance writer, I hang out at my website (BeaconStreetBooks dot com, where I also blog), Facebook, and other fun cyber spots.

I am also a lighthouse fanatic, and I guess it was only a matter of time before my obsessions collided and I wrote paranormal romantic lighthouse mysteries, (see the BEACON POINT ROMANCE series). I actually spent days (and nights) holed up alone inside of a lighthouse while writing these books. What a trip that was! Coming next will be Book Four: AMOROSO PASS! (2023)

For those looking for something different, try UNMASKING PAULIE BINGHAM, an "alternative romance" about the challenges faced by a young, bisexual glamrock star in the 1980's.

And my LATEST RELEASE: StarCrossed Romance #3, THE GYPSY IN ME, Spring 2022 - a long time coming, and for StarCrossed fans, hopefully worth the wait! Available now.

There are four more books in edits! Look for romance & mystery in the REDMOND FAMILY SECRETS, possibly due out in the fall!
